To prevent the iPhone 12 from being banned in France, Apple is reportedly working to release a software update that is said to bring down the radiation levels to accommodate the request of French regulators. Before being officially released back in 2020, it was reported that Apple knew about this problem and instructed its employees to stay quiet about the whole thing. It does not appear that there will be any legal repercussions against the California-based giant this time.

    Soo… France determined that levels were higher than regulations allowed and asked Apple to fix it. And the latest news is that Apple is looking into fixing it.

    What a story!

      Yup

      People said it in the other threads, but this is just boring regulatory processes at work. It’s just a story because popscience type outlets ran with the word radiation

      Never underestimate the clickbait potential of the word “radiation.”
